Help How to turn off loud Amber alerts (Acclaim)

AppleUser · Mar 9, 2015

My girlfriend's Acclaim just scared us. Very loud Amber Alert. How may we turn off the sound of the alert and still get the alert ? Second best = stop receiving these alerts.

I was able to turn of the audio alert on the LG Motion, but not the Acclaim.

Check under settings>more>emergency broadcasts

Thanks. In settings, there's no "more", just "more networks" and it's not there.

Hmmm... That's odd... I think the "more..." Setting has been there since at least ice cream sandwich. What version of android are you on?

Just for reference here is my settings menu:

The "more..." Is right up there under wireless & networks (4th item down).

Then you see emergency broadcasts:

Followed by the list of broadcasts, including amber alerts:

Just so you know I wasn't putting you on...

Thanks for the pix! Her choices are different.

Under More Networks, there is Default messaging app, Mobile networks, VPN, and WiFi calling.
